Whenever Chloe posted images and captions on social media, Basra allegedly copied them within hours on Instagram, even using the same poses, clothes and wording.

And when Chloe and her big sister, Linzi, looked further into what was happening, they discovered hundreds of the bizarre photos.

It was claimed that Basra even copied Chloe’s Instagram tag of ChloeCowan17xo with her own, HoneyBasra18xo.

On Monday, Linzi took to Facebook to warn others about the dangers of social media.

The 27-year-old, from Glasgow, who posted more than 40 pictures to back her claims and said the police have been notified, wrote: “Don’t even know where to start with this but just want to let people know the dangers of social media.

“My sister Chloe is at Dundee university and another girl living in Dundee (who my sister wasn’t aware of until this week) has been reenacting her life on instagram for almost 2 years.

“This girls stalking behaviour is to the extreme of reenacting videos of a photo album that Chloe posted of my dad who past away (gives me the shivers when I think about it).

“This girl doesn’t follow my sister on social media and had made a fake account to stalk her without her knowing.”

And she explained that while “imitation is flattering” Basra’s campaign had gone “too far" adding: “Her behaviour is not ok and I just wanted this out in the open for people to be aware of just how scary social media can be.

“My sister should not have to hide away in worry of her every move being stalked by another girl! Imitation is flattering but this is just too far.”

Linzi also claimed to have informed the police about Basra who she described as “manipulative.”

She said: “The girl has been confronted and blocked Chloe with no response so I don’t want this being twisted by her onto Chloe!

“This girl is also studying law, in my eyes this is not fit behaviour of someone to study the law!!”

One of Basra’s former flatmates, Emma Reid, from the Muir of Ord, in the Highlands, also took to Facebook to warn people.

Emma, who studies History, Politics and International Relations in Dundee wrote: “Just something and someone for all students to be aware of. This is seriously alarming and I hope the appropriate measures are taken to deal with this particularly dangerous law student, Honey Basra, who I was recently living with and also tormented by. Share and inform!”

Friends of the two sisters also reacted to the story which began to emerge on Sunday evening.

Horrified Chloe Cowan only recently discovered that Honey Basra has allegedly been mirroring her lifestyle to the tiniest detail for two years

Linzi’s pal Nathan McNaughton wrote: “I cannot understand the reasoning behind this at all... It’s completely unhealthy! Like most people I’m guilty of copying someone’s style from time to time but this just isn’t the same thing!

"Hope your sister is okay! X”

While Melanie Hinson said: “This is the strangest thing ever, how dangerous is social media these days! Hope Chloe is okay and the police act appropriately. That’s disgusting! X”

Last night a woman at Linzi’s house, in Glasgow, declined to comment on the allegations.

A university spokesman confirmed they were investigating the claims.

He said: “The welfare of all University of Dundee students is treated with the ultimate importance.

“We are aware of these claims and our Student Services team and the Dundee University Students’ Association is providing assistance to those affected.”

Basra deleted her Instagram account earlier in the day and was unavailable for comment.
